Letter: Ms. Lisa Maloff’s lesson to South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 06/08/2018 - 10:47am
In an ever more vitriolic, self-centered and money hungry culture, the magnificent moments appear to be farther and fewer between. However, in Tahoe, a constant bright spot has been found over the past several years with Ms. Lisa Maloff’s numerous charitable donations. Illustrated by the exhaustive list below, it is overwhelming to envision the impact she has had on our little community. And, while most would argue that the money has all the power to change everything, I disagree.

Controversy surrounds elimination of "God" and "Country" from South Tahoe Little League pledge
Submitted by paula on Wed, 04/29/2015 - 3:48pm
The National Little League pledge, written by Peter J. McGovern in 1954, reads as follows:
I trust in God
I love my country
And will respect its laws
I will play fair
And strive to win
But win or lose
I will always do my best
It has long been a tradition in South Lake Tahoe where players recite the pledge prior to every Major Division Little League game.
That tradition ended this year as the local Board of Directors decided to remove the words "God" and "country" from the pledge so it would read like this:
I will play fair
And strive to win
But win or lose
